I understand why we have to be observers, but in these cases, when we (human beings) are the ones causing these sad situations in the first place, why don't the crews ever intervene? I'm trying to stay as logical as possible, but I still don't see the logic behind NOT doing anything, especially when it wouldn't of happened in the first place if we didn't cause the droughts running rampid across the world.

@mishabisha Where did anyone say it was our fault that this happens? They have a wet season and a dry season. Even if it is a drought for the region, not guaranteed we were a sole factor. This shit has been happening for a long time. Sorry reality slapped you in the face.

@Fehlschlag "Where did anyone say it was our fault that this happens?"

These areas of Africa use to have grassy plains and water within a few days travel. Now, because of our pollution and resource hungry nations, Droughts are becoming more and more severe, nothing like what it should be. Foreign water companies are drilling into natural water reserves below ground and are charging the Africans to use it, and that means that there are not as many places for the animals to go to get More..water, too. Everything has consequences.

It doesn't take genius to look at what's going on and see what serious effects the civilized world is having on the continent of Africa, its people, and animals.

@mishabisha Don't be an asshole and call me stupid for apparently not having access to the incredible information that you do. Never once have I heard of this happening.

Nevertheless, show some credible proof to your claims. Rather than just spouting this shit out on whim believing that's the sole cause of this. Even if this is happening, this kind of shit was going on in Africa before that, animals in regions of Africa face droughts all the time. So don't say shit like "it doesn't takeMore.. a genius" because it doesn't take a fucking genius to realize that this is what was happening in Africa before your supposed water mongering started. For as long as I've watched documentaries on Africa they have always faced shit like this, it's nothing new at all, so I find it really hard to believe you without seriously questioning where you are getting your facts from.

Here, like this, article relating to his documentary, stating a drought.

It's from the video, the cause is a drought...not humans claiming all the water for themselves.

I backed my beliefs before even looking that up for christs sake, that just solidifies it, that's all I could find. Not one thing about humans causing any of this, or any animal deaths via man made drought in Africa.

And I know just because it isn't happening now doesn't mean it wont happen in the future. Africa is far underdeveloped as far as other places in the world goes, so of course there's going to be fallout. It's sad, but true. If we want to progress as a species we need to develop land as best we can to suit our needs with current technology. At this point in time it's not like they are going to become extinct. We can even bring back mammoths, neanderthals, or the tasmanian tiger in due time, crying over an elephant after all that has happened in history is just silly. We all wish everything would be glorious as mankind moved forward and no species suffered but its just not plausible at this point. I really doubt as we find other civilized species in the universe they will have flawless histories. Some select few may perhaps, but given the core nature of animal instincts of survival that live on even after civilized life it's just not a realistic idea to envision that everything will go so easily.Less..

Sad, I dont know how it's debated still on if animals cry for emotion or not when we've seen elephants do it on several occasions when someone in the herd dies. Not just elephants either, gorillas show emotion as well. Cant remember the name of the famous gorilla in captivity that knows sign language but she shows emotion as well.

elephants are not supposed to be getting welfare from people, that would only make things worse. this is the natural order of things, and the best way to preserve nature is to leave it alone and not interfere. it will take care of itself, and as long as the poachers are kept at bay the specie of elephants will live on.
